*New  Life  Currents  in  China. 

Mary  Ninde  Gamewell 

This  book  shows  in  a  striking  way  the  vast 
influence  that  Christianity  is  exerting  for 
human  conservation  in  China,  not  only 
in  building  up  a  stronger  race  physically 
but  in  developing  the  intellectual  and 
spiritual  resources  of  a  mighty  people. 
Mrs.  Gamewell  writes  with  conviction  and 
authority,  because  of  her  close  acquaint¬ 
ance  with  the  Chinese  people.  By  way  of 
special  preparation  for  writing  this  book, 
she  made  an  extended  tour  of  China,  and 
therefore  she  is  able  to  interpret  the  latest 
movements  in  politics,  in  the  public  health 
campaign,  in  general  and  medical  educa¬ 
tion,  in  Christian  missions,  and  in  the 
Christian  'Church. 

Sixteen  illustrations  and  map.

By  Tyler  Dennett 


A  Better  World 


Ready  at  an  early  date 


(George  H.  Doran  Co.) 

A  new  and  vital  book  on  Christianity  and  World 
Missions  in  the  Reconstruction  Period. 

The  book  opens  with  an  account  of  the  Peace 
Conference  which  Mr.  Dennett  attended 
as  a  correspondent;  it  treats  of  present 
religious'  and  revolutionary  conditions  in 
Europe  and  estimates  present  religious  re-* 
sources. 

The  chapter-titles  indicate  the  timely  interest 
and  the  scope  of  the  book :  The  Unfinished 
Task  at  Paris;  The  League  and  the  Chang¬ 
ing  World;  Christianity,  Democracy,  and 
Internationalism;  Europe,  the  War,  and 
Religion;  Non-Christian  Nations  and 
Races;  The  Next  Century;  The  New 
Patriotism  for  America. 

Mr.  Dennett  has  spent  nearly  three  years  in 
Europe  and  Asia,  studying  missionary 
work;  and  this  far-seeing  writer  proves 
that  the  Gospel  of  Christ  is  a  political, 
economic,  and  biological  necessity. 

Probable  price,  cloth,  $1.35;  paper,  60  cents; 
prepaid.

^Foreign  Magic. 

Jean  Carter  Cochran 

Miss  Cochran  is  well  known  for  her  witty 
and  intimate  stories  of  the  people  of  China. 
In  this  book  she  has  collected  some  of  her 
sketches  that  have  appeared  in  the  Out - 
look  and  in  other  magazines  and  has  added 
several  hitherto  unpublished. 

The  scene  of  many  of  the  stories  is  the  re¬ 
gion  surrounding  a  great  mission  hospital; 
and  they  reveal  in  a  striking  manner  what 
the  Christian  doctors  and  nurses  have 
meant  to  the  impoverished  and  disease- 
stricken  population  of  China.  At  this 
time,  when  the  attention  of  the  mission 
study  classes  is  being  turned  to  medical 
missions  and  the  conservation  of  human 
life,  these  stories  have  special  value. 

Artistic  cover-design;  well  illustrated.  Espe¬ 
cially  suitable  for  a  gift  book. 

Handsomely  bound;  price,  $1.50,  prepaid. 


The  Uplift  of  China. 

Arthur  H.  Smith 

Although  written  in  1906,  Dr.  Smith’s  book 
contains  a  great  amount  of  information 
about  the  background  of  Chinese  life 
which  is  of  permanent  value  and  which 
every  student  of  China  will  wish  to  own. 
The  writer  is  recognized  as  one  of  the  out¬ 
standing  authorities  on  China ;  and  his  de¬ 
scriptions  of  the  country  and  its  people, 
their  history,  customs,  and  religions,  give 
the  general  facts  that  each  mission  study 
class  will  need  for  reference. 

Price,  paper  only,  50  cents,  prepaid.

The  Emergency  in  China. 

F.  L.  Hawks  Pott 

The  author  completed  his  work  on  this  manu¬ 
script  after  the  opening  of  the  Chinese 
Parliament  in  1913.  It  thus  contains  a  full 
treatment  of  the  great  Revolution  of  1912 
and  is  a  valuable  reference  book  on  the 
political  movements  in  recent  Chinese  his¬ 
tory  and  on  the  great  social,  industrial, 
and  religious  transformations  which  ac¬ 
companied  the  Revolution.  The  book  has 
an  especially  fine  review  of  China’s  inter¬ 
national  relations. 

Price,  cloth,  75  cents ;  paper,  50  cents,  prepaid.

Charles  A.  Brooks 

In  this  book  is  presented  a  timely  theme

able  contribution  to  material  which  the 
Christian  forces  of  our  country  will  need 
in  the  task  of  reconstruction.  In  particu¬ 
lar,  Dr.  Brooks  presents  an  earnest  plea 
for  all  Americans,  whatever  their  ancestry,
